Surprise! I can’t find an accurate translation in English for a word and, double surprise, couldn’t even find it adopted as in the case of hubris.
The word is scibile, current Italian for ‘all the human knowledge’, from Latin scibile, ‘knowledgeable‘, from scire, knowledge.
The only translation offered for scibile is ‘knowledge’ and I find this quite limitative.
Can anyone suggest a more satisfactory one-word translation?

PHILOLOGY.* This word, among the ancients, had a signification which included what .we now call philosophy, literature, the sciences, and the theory of arts, though it excluded their practice.

This is a close one, but I don't think it goes quite far enough. The original suggestion was for a word that encompasses all human knowledge, not just the philosophical and scientific ones philology covers.

As to your signature, would you please consider altering it to something non-commercial? We don't appreciate ads here.

Life is like playing chess with chessmen who each have thoughts and feelings and motives of their own.
